Rule 2.8 Article 6 Probate Courts -- concurrent jurisdiction with superior courts.

Some probate courts in Georgia (called Article 6 Probate Courts) have the power to hear certain cases that would normally go to a superior court. This means you may have a choice about which court to file in for those cases.

The specific types of cases where this shared authority applies are listed in Georgia law under OCGA § 15-9-127. If you are unsure whether your case can be filed in probate court or must go to superior court, checking that law or speaking with a court clerk can help you figure out your options.
